How OURS will change the world

We’re on a mission to help people have happier, healthier lives through stronger relationships. We believe in a world of great relationships, made better.

Did you know that relationships are often the #1 predictor of our physical, emotional and mental health?

Just think: how could the world be different if we all had stronger relationships with the people we love?

We’d feel heard, seen, understood, loved. Individually and collectively, we’d unlock the power of love to reach our greatest potential. We’d have a richer human experience. We’d be kinder to each other. We’d live longer and better. We’d die with no regrets.

How beautiful would that be?

To us, that’s not a daydream. It’s our job. We’re building experiences in relationship health to make that future world, reality. And since you’re here, we know that you believe in that world, too.

OURS started with a secret…

We were in great relationships, but things weren’t perfect… or we were worried about the future… or we just wanted to strengthen our relationship even more. When we told our friends we were looking into couples counseling, they gasped… and then revealed that they were too. We were shocked at how many were looking for or were already in couples counseling.

But when we looked into couples counseling, we found that it was really hard to get started. It was stressful to figure out where to start. We had to leave voicemails. We had to optimize for availability during the workday across 3 schedules. It was draining, confusing, stressful and nearly impossible.

We started to wonder, what could going to couples counseling look and feel like if we brought together the world’s best therapists, designers, product builders and content creators to re-imagine couples counseling from the ground up? Could we make going to couples counseling feel the way we all want our relationships to feel: happy, rich, memorable, special, magical?

Our Founding Story

In early 2020, the world was about to change and we (Jessica and Adam) had no idea who the other was. But, we were both tackling the same problem: how do we normalize relationship health and make couples counseling more accessible?

In April 2020, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend introduced us:

We got on the phone - Adam calling from Houston, Jessica from Brooklyn - for what was scheduled to be a 30 minute phone call. It stretched on for over 2 hours and by the end, we were finishing each other’s sentences. We were shocked, then heartened, then inspired, by the shared vision in a future where going to couples counseling was as possible, celebrated and normal as going to Sunday brunch or an evening spin class.

At first, we took the phone call just to meet someone else in the space. We quickly realized we needed to work together - should our companies partner together? But within days, we realized we could build something so much bigger than our individual dreams, if we built together. Funny how relationships work like that, huh?

So, we got to work. In August of 2020, we asked one of our advisors to connect us with the best couples therapist in the world and he immediately thought of & connected us with Liz, an industry-leading, world-famous couples therapist:

Our first call with Liz was over Zoom, as all calls were back then, and her electricity went out! Somehow, she stayed on through a power outage and as the afternoon turned into the evening, we got to know her and were in awe of her expertise and experience. We reflected after the call, “We need to work with someone like Liz.” “Wait… do you think it’s at all possible that Liz would join us?”

In April 2021, she did, and we’ve never looked back. Except to reminisce on our early days of getting to know each other, which - by the way - is a sign of a strong relationship.
